Symposium, Costa Rica (May 2008) As opportunities arise, I often accept invitations to do educational public outreach programs using live animals to teach groups of various ages, including public and private K-12 classes, clubs, and teams, and groups at zoos, libraries, community events, and amateur societies. From 1999 to 2015 I did 15-20 programs a year on average; in some years up to 50. Annual average participants ~2,000. I’m also an active participant in Skype a Scientist.
